Montgomery County Community College issued the following announcement.
Kenneth E. Lawrence Jr., Vice Chair of the Montgomery County Commissioners, shares his experience as a commissioner with students as part of the Legislator-in-Residence Program.
Each semester, local and state elected officials from Montgomery County are invited to provide guest lectures to Political Science students about their real-life experiences in public life. As an Integrated Learning program, the lectures are incorporated into the syllabus for each course. Students research each official before their visit and are required to develop questions on their background, experiences, or legislation in which they’ve been involved. While some lectures are more general in nature, others have focused on specific topics such as “Politics vs. Governing,” “Gerrymandering,” “County & Local Government,” and “Experience as a Committee Chair.” All lectures are non-partisan and provide an in-depth look at life in public service.
